    TBH Snaggles I think you should take that as a compliment. He doesn;t have to put an act on with you as he knows you love him the way he is.
    Yes, you're right, and I do love him, for all his faults. Sorry if it didn't sound that way. I just wish sometimes that I felt like I was important enough to make a special effort for. Not all the time, just occasionally.

    Buffy, if you crack flat pack. take it apart carefully, get some very good wood glue (evostick or such like) Glue it back together, if you can clamp it. and in 24 hours will be as good as new..

  • thnaks Mark, I used proper screws instead of those stupid half plastic things with hooky screw bits (does any one know what I am talking about?) . I have screws showing but that side will be next to the fish tank so no one will see it.

    Yesterday I built a cheap pine Chest of drawers that was better quaility then what I am building now. I need to marry a carpenter. now.
